I needed one as well. I just took the tophat to a machine shop and they pressed an identical one in. Just bring a nut along with you to make sure it's a proper fit.

the thing is, the suspension is already assembled. i dont really want to get a spring compressor to disassemble it, get something pressed it, and then reassemble it. im just being lazy ha.

either way, if you're gonna want a new OEM top hat, wouldn't you have to do the same thing anyway?

true, but i want to try to find a used top hat and just take out one of those bolts, or if anyone happens to have a bolt (totally rare i know) then thatd be perfect.

Only reason why I'm commenting is because I was in the same situation. My brother snapped a stud while trying to torque it down. Knowing SOA does not have these type of parts and only sells it as a full assembly I found it cheaper to go STi hardened mounts as I had aftermarket suspension. Though, later Santa Cruz Subaru told me I should just bring the nut to any type of shop w/ studs and they should be able to find one with it. I still have yet to do that, but you might try that as I was driving w/ only 2 of the nuts on and I didn't notice any problems.

I have a used tophat with 2 bolts on it. I will have to look for it though. I'll get back to you.
